“I think you'd call that a fakie front board. Fakie back lip is a little different, and kind of makes no sense logically, but the skate industry matches the name to the trick pretty consistently.”

I think you'd call that a fakie front board. Fakie back lip is a little different, and kind of makes no sense logically, but the skate industry matches the name to the trick pretty consistently.

That's a fakie boardslide. For it to be a lip slide you need to pop over the rail with the foot that your popping off of. For example if this was a fakie front lip, you'd come in with your back to the rail and pop fakie over the rail and land sideways on it. Here's a video example [VIDEO] Also it's not a half cab because you didn't rotate the full 180, it's just fakie boardslide

so that link doesn't work, but I don't quite understand your reasoning. what do you mean if he was going the other way? like if he approached the ledge nollie? or if he approached it regular? Regardless, if we aren't moving the ledge around, its always a back noseblunt position for him, since he skates regular. You are right about that. I think this video might be referencing the odd naming patterns you are talking a

It’s frontside, it comes from a mix of how fakie tail slides were called in the 80s and when these tricks started being called in in street skating the 90s it was “fakie Ollie to fs tail slide “ gradually the “to” dropped from the call in the 00s. For additional reference here is a video of Matt Bennett teaching fakie back lips. [VIDEO]

What you just said is completely wrong and makes absolutely no sense [VIDEO] [VIDEO] Don't you have anything better to do than spitting out nonsense on the internet? Why don't you try learning how to ollie? I bet you are just a poser and don't even skate

I feel if i counter your argument with straight facts, youre not gonna see my point anyway so i wont bother much but im just gonna leave a few videos that show what im poorly trying to say here. A fakie backside noseslide is frontside on approach, then do a noseslide. Fakie back lip [VIDEO] - what would mirror a nollie front board is actually a fakie back lip Fakie backsidside noseslide [VIDEO] - AKA halfcab noseslid

For reference: [VIDEO] Lip slide involves ollieing over the rail. So yes in regular or switch position—when you are riding forwards—that involves your back truck popping over the rail. But if you were in nollie or fakie position, an ollie over the rail would involve your front foot crossing over the rail.
